When creating a cloned mammal, what structure contains the genetic information the scientists intend to clone?
Somatic cell
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are also known as:
Somatic stem cells
The first reports of a successful mammal cloning date to the:
20th century
Scientists implant genetic information from one species into another to create a customized strain of mice for research. What are these scientists creating?
Transgenic animals
Somatic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are also called:
Adult stem cells
Which structure has the potential to develop into any other cell within the human body?
Totipotent cell
Tissue and organ donors
Adult stem cells are to be harvested and transplanted into a patient. Where would these cells most likely be found?
In human bone marrow
When scientists chart the position of known genes and other markers relative to each other, this process is called:
Genetic Mapping
What approval process do biomedical researchers seek when they create a transgenic animal?
Apply for a patent from the U.S Patent and Trademark Office.
Pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) are reprogrammed adult cells produced in a lab to take on characteristics of which type of stem cells?
Embryonic Stem Cells
Any number of variable DNA codings of the same gene, occupying a given position on a chromosome, are known as a/n:
Allele
When researchers apply for a patent from the U.S patent and Trademark Office, for what process are they seeking approval?
Creating a transgenic animal
Which stem cells are most often used to avoid rejection by the patient's immune system?
Adult stem cells
When scientists are able to use an organ from another species for transplantation, this is known as:
xenograft
